there's recreational uses and so on. but when you're talking about for law enforcement purposes, or the deranged that are intent on killing people, we want to protect our airplanes, our passengers, and we've done that in a very good way with federal air marshals. we want to protect them, our society from them, in places that people are in danger. and we've come to solutions in every environment. the schools should not be exempt from that. so when you look at our school atmosphere, where one third of our schools have an armed presence, i think that you could look at expanding that. to me, the objections are primarily a cost issue, it's a training issue, which is critically important. that's why i want to bring together, whether it's the secret service or the federal air marshals who have experience in this kind of training, to make sure that the people in schools who have a weapon for protective purposes are properly trained. i think we can do that >> do you think that news conference really set the right tone, if you wil
